Dear Citizen:
It has come to our attention that there are wanted terrorists on your block. We are therefore going to demolish your block. The demolition will take place in the next 20 minutes and will be instantaneous and total.
You have the right to remove as many personal valuables as you can carry with you before demolition begins.
Appeals may be directed to the Department of Homeland Security after the demolition is completed but will not result in the restoration of your property or any compensation for your losses.
By vacating your premises, you acknowledge and accept that this is a deprivation of property through due process of law as required by the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and is not an act of collective punishment as prohibited by the Fourth Geneva Convention.
The Department of Homeland Security takes great care to spare the lives of civilians in our anti-terrorism operations. We thank you for complying with this directive and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience during your temporary dislocation.
Sincerely,
B.J. Theodoros
Department of Homeland Security
